Create from your true nature

Say goodbye to playing it safe, small, and disconnected. It’s time to live authentically and create the results you’ve dreamed about.

It’s not just about mindset anymore.

Head + Heart + Body = FULLY EMBODIED

It takes twice as much energy to be the man

that you're not than who you truly are.

- Jeff Zacharski

Magic happens when men create the freedom they need to be their true nature.

Ready to reconnect with your true nature?

Ready to let go of chronic self-neglect, burnout and lack of self-belief? And step into a way of living that feels true, purposeful, empowered, and authentic? A way of living that’s full of connection, pleasure, embodied presence, and results?

This is what happens when you unlock your true nature.

Only 21% of men report being supported by another man in the last week.

I'm on a mission to change that

I work with men who are ready to experience life without the stress, disconnection, and weight they’ve carried for most of their lives. Men who are ready to propel true and lasting embodied transformation, men who have life altering goals and bold visions they’re ready to execute on.

Which is why you’ve found yourself here, isn’t it?

Hi, I'm Jeff

My story starts, I’d assume, like yours. I was a creative, problem-solving, expressive, emotionally intelligent, and deep-thinking kid – but one who felt misunderstood a lot of the time, so I learned to be a chameleon, suppress my thoughts and shut my emotions down, to not take risks. I felt alone in determining who I was as a man. I found myself going around in circles in the same unhelpful patterns, lacking any real substance in my relationships, overthinking and stuck in my head while feeling disconnected to my body, not really understanding myself, believing in myself or knowing what I even wanted.

I’ve found ‘success’ many times, but something was always missing

I’ve experienced a lot of success in my life. As a startup founder, non-profit founder, music producer, and songwriter, and leader of technical teams across the country. Strangely, I always used to find myself with the same feeling. With each new challenge, I’d wind up feeling more lost. I realize looking back that each new challenge was simply another new way of hiding from myself, of avoiding things that were calling to be looked at.

I compensated by trying to fix everything or prove my worth by giving up more of myself. By trying harder to please. Doing more. Escaping myself.
No matter what I did, it resulted in patterns of chronic self-neglect, overworking, and over-achieving. This almost always led to burnout.
I was actually disconnected from my true nature.

I’m still a fixer and creative solution provider and I am also grounded, present, confident, sensual, and a deeply loving leader of men.
It was only when I went through my own coaching experience that I was able to identify these unhelpful patterns, unlock who I was, and make lasting changes that impacted every single area of my life.

Here’s how I can support you:

1:1 Coaching
You know you’re holding yourself back. PERIOD. It’s time to make big changes in your life. You want to work with someone who is no-nonsense, doesn’t buy your bullsh*t (like everyone else), and calls you into life-transforming, courageous action on the regular.
Men's Retreats
Habits, patterns, and routines shape our lives, while distractions and circumstances pull us in all directions. Sea-Level will disconnect from it all and immerse you in the transformative power of nature. With your new brothers by your side, get ready for a life-altering experience that unlocks new levels of purpose, fulfillment, and achievement within a safe, grounded, and loving brotherhood.
Leadership Workshops

Leadership as we know it is ineffective, outdated, and comprised of hierarchy and ego. The world is asking for leaders who can partner, fail forward, act with courage and transparency. It takes vulnerability, and leaders must be willing to go there first. They must do their own work, heal, commit to radical self-compassion and personal growth, and, in doing so, give everyone around them permission to do the same. This is how we truly shift cultures, inspire environments of innovation, and drive real, sustainable change.

Every man has two lives, and the second starts

when he realizes he has just one

- Confucius

What my clients say:

I would say- are you ready to be guided by the wisdom of a lion in human form? Imagine Mufasa from Lion King is evoking a deep sense of exploration and confidence to bloom within you. Get ready to be held to a higher standard for yourself and unlock your potential.
Thomas Le

Jeff is heart-centered at his core and an exceptional coach and facilitator that allows you to see what is possible to achieve your dreams! And he isn't committed to bullshit as he has a passion for people living to their greatest potential.
Nick G
Music Creator
I would tell them that there is no better way to level-up than to lean into someone's teachings. Why spend your whole life trying to discover what you can deeply learn in a single adventure? Why have all elite athletes had coaches?
John R
I used to try to do it all on my own with self-help books and podcasts but it never stuck without accountability and partnership. Working with Jeff, I now understand, trust, and love myself. Jeff is that dependable character you want for an epic adventure through your heart and mind. He is an expert at being there for you to come up with your own answers to tough questions, just don’t expect him to give them to you, rather he will support you to locate the answers inside you.
Thomas F
Hospitality General Manager
Jeff has answers to the questions you weren't even aware you needed to ask. And not in a mythical or profound way — these answers and questions are already inside all of us, we just sometimes need a really, really awesome mirror. Jeff was that mirror for me and he will be that mirror for you.
Brendan
Media Business Owner
I felt like I was going through the motions in life a little. I had a purpose but was alone with a limited team around me. I learned kindness, structure, and a strong commitment to achieving results with a definitive purpose.Jeff is one of the kindest people I know, who is wise beyond his years and wants the very best for everyone. He is generous and caring and he has a real desire to create some positive ripples in the universe.
Mrinal M
Business Owner
I would say, 'Do it now!' At the time I started with Jeff, I was 50 years old. I don't have time to wait around anymore to make my dreams come true and make my vision a reality. I'm 53 now, and my business is booming more than ever. Jeff skillfully gets you enrolled in the vision for your life and holds you accountable to creating it. You might be skittish at first worrying... am I ready for this? Is it worth all the money I’m paying? Do I really wanna do this? The answers are yes yes and Fuck yes!
Phil Stone
Author, Therapist, Music Creator
I used to feel unsure, a bit anxious, and lost. Now, my vulnerability is my superpower. I’m much more open now and more loving to the people in my life. I have gained confidence and a sense of ease in life. Jeff is an innovative and loving leader that can hold tremendous space. He develops trust and support instantly and truly cares about the people he works with.
Tom U

10 out of 10 would recommend it! It's going to be hard work, but if you're someone that's committed to continued and consistent growth, I'm confident you'll see the transformational results. This work is beyond anything I could have imagined I was signing up for.
Nick R
Entrepreneur
I would say hire Jeff if you want clean, sharp support to go after whatever you want. He's got a brilliant intuition to feel through what's REALLY going on...sometimes even before I do.
Nick L
Video Editor
If you want to play around don't go to Jeff, If you want to be challenged like no sh*t, to be your highest level of self, GO SEE JEFF!I used to feel like there was only one way to do things. I was constantly giving up, changing plans, and feeling defeated and disempowered. I discovered breakthroughs in trust, transparency, vision, my own coaching, and what it looks like to create a brother from a coach.

What men from our Sea-Level Retreats are saying:

INCREMENTAL CHANGE

  • Focuses on making small, gradual improvements over time
  • Often involves tweaking existing habits and behaviors
  • May lead to some progress, but may also be slow and frustrating
  • Requires ongoing effort and discipline to maintain momentum
  • Can be a good option for those who prefer a more conservative approach to personal growth

EMBODIED TRANSFORMATION

  • Leads to a greater sense of freedom, authenticity, and joy in life
  • Involves a deep, fundamental shift in how we relate to ourselves and the world around us
  • Goes beyond surface-level changes and addresses underlying patterns and beliefs
  • Can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery
  • Will require more courage and willingness to take risks, but can be a truly transformative experience

How it works

Unlock

When you’ve spent most of your life neglecting your true nature, step one is to unlearn and unwire everything that hasn’t served you and unlock the person you really are underneath it all.

Take courageous action

You have big goals and a fierce ambition. But you fall back into playing safe and staying small because it’s easy. That’s why having support to take the brave steps towards the life you want is the most important thing you will ever do.

Transform & Embody

The kind of life you want to create won’t happen inside your head. It happens when you know you can trust yourself and the tools you have to actually live in a new way. Once you make that realization, everything changes. This is a shift that can only be felt.

If you are ready to experience:

  • A greater connection to yourself and your true nature, so that you can fully show up and stop letting everything happen to you.
  • A guide to finding your own power as a courageous, heart-led leader.
  • The confidence to pursue the biggest, boldest vision you have for the life you want to create and the person you know you can be.
  • Actionable, practical steps to personal growth and self-development that isn’t just another hyper-masculinized regurgitation of information found Google.
  • A deeper level of intimacy, presence, resilience and joy in your relationship with others and with yourself.
  • A newfound aliveness inside your life, to feel pleasure, to have fun, to feel life pulsing through your body here in this present moment.

So, now you have a choice.

Stay the same

No more baby steps

Stay the same

You can live at the expected rate of change and let your life happen to you much by accident, like the way a river naturally flows – continuing to take baby steps but never really experiencing true embodied transformation. There is nothing wrong with this option, but it’s likely the harder option in the long run.

No more baby steps

Or, you can be proactive, take bold steps. You can move the rocks in the river to manipulate the water in the way you really want it to go – meaning change happens more quickly, more intentionally and more dramatically. This involves choosing the least familiar option initially but is the most rewarding in the long term.
